NETPRO’S Biomass Gasification based Power plants- Salient Features

  >>  Producer Gas

        Composition (by Vol.): CO: 20 (+-) 2%, H2: 20 (+-) 2%, CH4: 3 (+-) 1%,                                            CO2: 12 (+-) 2%, N2: Balance.

  >> Safety features:

         >  Possibility of gas leaking into ambient from system elements practically ruled out as              gasifier system is under suction.

         >  To avoid any air ingress into system, proper leakage test for flange joints are              prescribed & strictly followed.

         >  An online oxygen sensor provided in the system to detect and indicate any air               leakage.

         >  Water seals at several locations provided to prevent any gas leakage or air ingress                into the system.

  >> The environmental benefits are:

         >  Reduction of fossil fuel use.

         >  Reduction of emissions of other gases.

         >  Greenhouse Gas Reduction.

         >  Natural resource conservation and biodiversity conservation through encouragement                of biomass economy.

  >> Energy Supplied by Biomass Power Plant would provide following collateral           benefits:

         >  Creation of jobs in power plant / energy plantation cultivation / harvesting and fuel               preparation.

         >  Mitigate CO2 emissions / year through eliminating electricity purchase from carbon                intensive grid.

         >  Avoidance of power outages due to Grid power cuts.

         >  Up to 80% depreciation benefit under IT act.

  >> Effluents

         >  Effluent Treatment: Effluent treatment plant for circulating gas cooling & cleaning raw              water consists of 2 flocculent tanks, an activated carbon column & one presurrised              sand bed filter.

         >   Chemicals: (1) Non-ferric alum and (2) Poly electrolyte are dissolved separately in                water and added into the flocculation tank.

         >  Residue Disposal: to be disposed off to farmers as a fertilizer.

         >  Residue Disposal: Charcoal as a by product has activated carbon content and it has a               very good market value.
